Giving
We offer several fund types for individuals, families, corporations, and organizations.
Our staff is available to meet with you and create a fund tailored to your specific interests and goals. Regardless of which fund type you choose, we’ll provide professional stewardship and oversight to ensure that your intentions are honored during your lifetime and beyond.
- Donor-advised funds offer you a hands-on, simple, and convenient way to be actively engaged in the giving process. You can receive an immediate tax deduction for your charitable contributions to the fund and then distribute grants at your discretion over many years. Additional gifts may be made to the fund at any time.
- Scholarship funds are personalized funds you create to help others advance their education or training. With the assistance of our staff, you can determine scholarship guidelines, including eligibility criteria, award amount, and the selection committee. Many scholarship funds are set up in honor or memory of loved ones.
- Endowment funds can be established to provide a permanent source of support for a scholarship or other need or interest.
